Background. The Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) is an instrument employed to measure the generalized ability to regulate behavior. Self-regulation is related to the management of risk behaviors, such as drug abuse or anti-social behaviors. The SRQ has been used in young adult samples. However, some risk behaviors are increasing among adolescents. The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the SRQ among Spanish adolescents. Method: 845 high-school Spanish students (N=443; 52,43% women), from 12 to 17 years old and ranging from the first to the fourth year of studies, completed the SRQ. A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out in order to establish structural adequacy. Then a study of each subscale was conducted using the Rasch model for dimensionality, adjustment of the sample questions, functionality of the response categories and reliability. Results: W...
